Activity on Existential Resilience in Schools and Education

Several ERiCi activities focus on education – from primary to secondary education, professional training and adult development. In 2023, we conducted a related seminar with two of our external cooperation partners.

The purpose of the seminar was to exchange knowledge and experiences of, and inspiration for, integrating existential resilience in all kinds of schools and educational contexts. The seminar included two presentations and short workshops by our ERiCi partners and affiliates, followed by a discussion:  

  • DRÖMMEN OM DET GODA (THE DREAM OF THE GOOD) is a Swedish NGO with 25 years of experience of working in schools with a four-component method encompassing stillness, touch, reflection and movement. Drömmen om det goda gives courses for children and youth in all ages as well as for teachers and headmasters. 

Ingrid Torstensson and Margareta Rosenquist from Drömmen om det goda will presented their work and led a practical exercise. More info under: https://drommenomdetgoda.se/ 

  • SISTERS HOPE is an internationally acclaimed Copenhagen-based art performance group, founded and led by Gry Worre Hallberg, and it is one of ERiCi:s external (i.e. non-LU) partners. Sisters Hope’s artistic research includes the integration of aesthetic processes into schools and education. 

Gry Worre Hallberg, artistic leader of Sisters Hope, presented their method for sensuous learning and also led a practical exercise. More information under: www.sistershope.dk
